How I Organized My Small Linen Closet

Organization has always been something I have thoroughly enjoyed doing. Even as a child, I enjoyed organizing anything and everything I could get my hands on. Yes, I’m weird. I know. When I heard about The Home Edit, I became obsessed with the way they organize. If you don’t know who they are, I’ll link their instagram at the bottom. My skills aren’t quite as refined as theirs but I implemented their ideas in this small linen closet.

On the top two shelves, I used baskets to contain toilet paper, fresh linens, bath towels, and beach towels.

On the middle shelf, I used the clear Modular All-Purpose Bins for bathing items (left) and bath + body care items (right). In the center, I used the clear Stackable Drawers and Tall Bin Organizers for Beautycounter + Monat samples.

On the second shelf from the bottom, I used the clear Modular All-Purpose Bins as well as the iDesign Clear Pantry Bins to contain various skincare items.

On the bottom shelf, I used the Hair Tool Trio to contain back stock hair care + styling products (left) and hair styling tools (right).

I keep everything labeled as a way to prevent me from getting into a hurry and just sticking items in a random place.

When I first moved into my current apartment in 2020, I chose to used to use baskets to contain my back stock items and left towels + linens folded on the shelves. I realized I was unable to see the back stock items which grew frustrating when I needed to look quickly while making a shopping list.

After reading one of The Home Edit’s books & watching their show , I decided to recalibrate my linen closet in a more visual and functional way.

I already have an extra toilet paper holder out in the bathroom and I have towel rods, so these are things I don’t need to access as often. I chose to keep those items hidden away in baskets. I decided to use the clear bins for skin care and hair care items because they allow me to see what I’m getting low on and also give me easy access to items I don’t use every day but tend to use at least weekly.

I kind of hate the wire shelving because you can’t set most things directly on the shelves without them tipping over. These clear bins are the perfect solution. I can still see everything, it is all contained, and nothing tips over!
